AIM:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety between trabeculectomy with collagen matrix versus trabeculectomy with mitomycin C(MMC) for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma(POAG).METHODS:In this prospective randomized comparative study from January 2015 to December 2016.Thirty-two eyes presented with POAG were included in this study, 14 eyes treated by trabeculectomy with subconjunctival implant of collagen matrix (study group) and the other 18 eyes treated by trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.Postoperative IOP, the success rate of operation, number of postoperative glaucoma medications and postoperative complications were recorded.Each patient was followed up at least 6mo.RESULTS:The mean postoperative IOP was statistically different between the study group and the control group after 1d (P<0.05), while not statistically different at 1 and 1mo follow-up (P>0.05), and the mean postoperative IOP was statistically different between the two groups (P<0.05) at 3 and 6mo after surgery.There was no significant difference in the success rate of operation between the two groups at 6mo after operation (P>0.05).The IOP decreased at 1d after openations compared with before, kept stable at 1wk to 6mo.IOP of study group was lowen than control.IOP was controlled by glaucoma medications in the study group by 28% compared to control group by 33% at 6mo after operation, but there was no significant difference.There was no significant difference between the study group and the control group in complications (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Trabeculectomy with collagen matrix implant is comparable to the use of MMC with a similar success rate in open-angle glaucoma and the range in reducing intraocular pressure was significantly higher than that of MMC and it can significantly avoid the occurrence of low IOP postoperatively, transient anterior chamber, conjunctival wound leakage complications has no advantages compared with the use of MMC.

The Renca-bearing mice were treated by combined fibroblast-mediated IL-2 and G-CSF gene therapy. The survival periods of Renca-bearing mice were prolonged markedly and 75% of Renca-bearing mice were cured. The spleens of Renca-bearing mice treated by fibroblast-mediated G-CSF gene therapy were larger than the spleens of other mice. Histologic analysis of tumor showed that there were a number of infiltrating eosinophils. The NK, LAK and CTL activity induced from the splenocytes of the tumor-bearing mice increased siginificantly when the mice were treated by fibroblast-mediated IL-2 gene therapy and the cytotoxicity of macrophages also increased. The results demonstrated that the and - tumor responses might be induced more significantly by combined fibroblast-mediated IL-2 and G-CSF gene therapy and better antitumor effect may be achieved.

3200 mg?L~(-1)),and could suppress HBeAg and HBsAg secretion and lower the HBV-DNA level cultured in HepG2 2.2.15 cell line in a dose and time-dependent manner.Conclusion Some of the mechanisms of PSP against HSV-1 and HSV-2 may be explained by the considerable inhibition of virus absorption and virus replication in cells.Some of the mechanisms of PSP against HBV may be explained by inhibition of the secretion of HBV-antigen and the replication of HBV-DNA.

Objective:To explore the association of its polymorphism of TFRC with the susceptibility, clinical and pathologic phenotypes of IgA nephropathy. Methods: A total of 380 patients with IgA nephropathy and 250 normal controls were enrolled in the study. The regions with 424G/A and -5184C/T polymorphism sites of TFRC were amplified by PCR from genomic DNA and then the PCR-RFLP were performed by restriction enzymes, BanⅠ and BsmA Ⅰ, respectively. The genetic association of genotypes with the clinical and pathologic phenotypes was analyzed. Results: The distribution of frequency in TFRC was consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; however, we found no significant difference in genotypes distribution between patients and controls. There were no differences between genotypes in age, blood pressure, 24 h urine protein excretion, serum creatinine, creatinine clearance and serum IgA. 424G/A and -5184C/T polymorphisms were associated with immunofluorescent intensity of IgA deposit in mesangial area, though there was no difference in pathological lesions evaluated by HAAS grade. Conclusion: The polymorphisms of TFRC in 424G/A and -5184C/T sites were not associated with susceptibility to IgA nephropathy, but associated with density of immunofluorescence of IgA in mesangium in our large population based Chinese patients. The association of IgA nephropathy and other polymorphism sites, as well as interaction between TFRC polymorphism and other genes' polymorphisms, neededs to be further investigated.

Objective To examine the polymorphism in NPHS2 gene of IgA nephropathy in northern Chinese patients and to investigate the possible association of the NPHS2 polymorphism with the development of IgA nephropathy, as well as its clinical and histologic manifestations.Methods The polymorphism of NPHS2 was analyzed by direct DNA sequencing in 32 northern Chinese patients with IgA nephropathy (16 with heavy proteinuria and 16 with isolated hematuria).According to preliminary results, a total of 537 IgA nephropathy patients were genotyped for the NPHS2 C357T polymorphism by PCR combined with restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). We collected clinical and histologic manifestations for gene analysis in patients with IgA nephropathy, such as age, sex, urine protein excretion and so on.ResultsEight NPHS2 polymorphisms (-931A＞T, -601C ＞T, 19G＞T, 171A＞G, 357C ＞ T, IVS3-21C ＞ T, 1023C ＞ T and 1107A ＞ G) were identified.The preliminary results of gene sequencing showed that the frequency of 357T allele in nephrotic syndrome group was obviously lower than isolated hematuria group (0.038 vs 0.125, P ＜0.05).In 537 IgA nephropathy patients with clinical and histologic data, the average urinary protein excretion in the patients with the 357CT/TT genotype was less (P =0.023).The incidence of urinary protein of more than 3.5 g/d was significantly lower in patients with T allele and TT/CT genotype, respectively (P =0.017 and 0.011).The logistic regression analysis indicated that, even after adjusting for the effect of hypertension and age of patients, the CT/II genotype of NPHS2 C357T was an independent protective factor for the urinary protein excretion more than 3.5 g/d(P =0.012,OR = 0.485, 95％ CI 0.275-0.84).ConclusionsEight NPHS2 polymorphisms were identified in northern Chinese IgA nephropathy patients. The frequencies of NPHS2 T allele and TT/CT genotype were the protective factors for urinary protein, especially with that of more than 3.5 g/d.

Objective To explore the application value of right heart contrast echocardiography in patients with transient ischemic stroke (TIA) of unknow cause.Methods Totally 120 patients with TIA (TIA group) and 60 cases of normal healthy volunteers (normal group) were enrolled.Two groups underwent right heart contrast echocardiography to observe whether there was a foramen ovale arteriosus (PFO) or not.Diagnostic criteria were left ventricular internal appearing micro bubble≥5 that came from the right atrium to left atrium in three cardiac cycles.Results Small and medium amount of right to left shunt had no significant difference between TIA group and normal group (both P＞0.05),and large amount of right to left shunt had significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.01).Conclusion Contrast echocardiography can effectively diagnose of PFO,and amount of right to left shunt of PFO has relationship with the onset of TIA.

Objective To investigate the bone metabolism of children with leukemia and its relationship to tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)pre-and post-treatment.Methods Serum bone gla protein(BGP),the excretion rate of urianry deoxypyridinoline(DPD)and TNF-? were measured in 35 children with leucocythemia pre-and post-treatment and 30 normal children(control group).Results The results showed that BGP,the excretion rate of DPD and TNF-? in children with leucocythemia before treatment were significantly higher than those in control group.However,the excretion rate of DPD decreased after chemotherapy but still significantly higher than that of control group(P0.05).Conclusions In children with leukemia,there are bone absorption and bone dissolution before chemotherapy,while there is osteogenesis dysfunction and bone absorption after chemotherapy.TNF-? can be used as a parametre for evaluating treatment effect and monitoring relapse.

Objective To investigate the clinical liver function protective effect of Shuganning injection for treatment of patients with drug poisoning.Methods One hundred and forty patients with drug poisoning consistent with thecriteria of enrollment into the study were admitted into the Department of Emergency Medicine in the First Hospital of Jilin University-the Eastern Division from January 2015 to August 2016, and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group by the computer generated random numbers, 70 cases in each group. After admission, all the cases were treated with routine treatment including detoxification, removal of toxin, organ protection, symptomatic and supporting treatment, etc. Based on the routine treatment, additionally, Shuganning injection 20 mL+ 10% glucose injection 250 mL, intravenous drip slowly, once a day was given in the observation group; the therapeutic course was 14 days in both groups. The changes of serum glutamic transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total bilirubin (TBiL) levels were determined before and 7 and 14 days after treatment respectively to evaluate the situation of liver function in the two groups.Results Before treatment, there were no statistical significant differences in the levels of serum ALT, AST and TBil in the two groups (allP > 0.05); with the prolongation of treatment, the above-mentioned indexes of the two groups were gradually reduced, on the 14th day after treatment, they reached the lowest levels, and the degree of decrease in level on the 14th day in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group [ALT (U/L): 32.6±10.8 vs. 98.3±34.5, AST (U/L): 39.4±14.3 vs. 138.5±25.6, TBil (μmol/L): 4.8±1.7 vs. 13.2±2.3, allP < 0.05].Conclusion Shuganning injection has a protective effect on liver function in patients with drug poisoning.
